toothache

i have really bad toothache on one of my back bottom teeth.
it started about a week ago, but since yesterday its been really painful and im living off painkillers. im going to see my dentist on monday, (thats the earliest i can go) but im abit of a hypocrondriac and am abit scared.
does anyone know what it could be? can u get toothache from nothing?
i eat alot of sweets and drink almost nothing but coke and coffee, do you think this may have an effect. i need a kick- up the backside to stop getting those select n merges !!

possible dental caries and decay which means that it may be a small filling or it may be abcessed and you may need rootcanal treatment best thing to do if it gets any worse would be to see the emergency dentist all dentists should have a number on their answer phone with there emergency number
